State voter laws could be over ridden by the feds. Lame duck shove it to ya stuff
The news article was talking about a lame duck session and I seen this about state voter registration laws. Looks like a takeover of state rights to me. If you think defunding a program will stall it think again about that with legislation they want to cram thru before Janurary. Other lame-duck possibilities? Senate ratification of the New Start nuclear treaty, a federally mandated universal voter registration system to override state laws, and a budget resolution to l...

Tobacco prices to rise again
With the new bill to be signed there are user fees added in the bill to cover cost incured by the feds. Who do you think is going to pay for these added user fees. The consumer. This is a no brainer to figure out [are there any brains left in D.C.]. The more people that do not start smoking and the smokers that do quit will add to the cost of the product as less will be used....

"Beyond AIG: A bill to let Big Government set your salary
I am NOT in favor of awarding failing company directors with any type of bonuses whether contracturally entered into previous to decline or not. However what's taking place is slowly putting the noose around necks of the general public regarding run away power of the government to set salaries and make those changes retroactive. Very dangerous out of control seizure of power. We conservatives warned time and time again but it fell on deaf ears. BTW those believing the Re...

"Bachmann Demands Truth: Will Obama Administration Abandon Dollar for a Multi-National Currency?
The US is being systematically gutted, sold out before our eyes, our Constitution used as toilet paper. One person is standing up to the cadre doing it. Oh yeah, character assassination videos about her on youtube, pretty sure unfavorable discussion about her on liberal watering hole sites. Happens when someone is vocally in the face of those whose legislation(s) set the whole free fall into motion. ______ Bachmann D...

Are We Losing Our Compassion?
I realize when a factory is built it creates new jobs, but at what cost to our way of life? In January a bill was introduced in the South Dakota legislature that would make a state-funded loan of up to $1 million available to anyone wishing to construct and open a horse slaughtering facility in the state. To the best of my knowledge, no horse slaughtering facilities operate in the United States. Both Texas and Illinois shut down the remaining domestic plants...

Medical Research
Several newspapers reported today: Four transplant recipients in Chicago have contracted HIV from an organ donor. The patients also contracted the Hepatitis C virus. I was very surprised to read this in 2007. Back in the 80s a close friend was infected with HIV during an emergency blood transfusion, but that was when testing was in its infancy. Since transplant patients often wait for years praying for an organ, and many die waiting...

a bill where the government apologizes to blacks for slavery
by Eric King Memphis, TN (WHBQ FOX13 myfoxmemphis.com) -- Right now, a bill going through the United States House of Representatives asks the federal government to formally apologize to African-Americans for slavery. Men and women, old and young were ranked with horses, sheep, and swine, all holding the same rank in the scale of being. More than 130 years ago, Fredrick Douglass described the bloody plight of Afr...
